Vegan Diet Can Help Strengthen Bones
submitted by equanimity, 1 year ago

The recent news of course attacks veganism again, using a study that's not even published, and says "vegetarian diet 'weakens bones'". If your friends ever ask, higher bone density does not equal strong bones. Further, vegan diet actually promotes strong bones. Read 'The China Study' and you will find out that osteoporosis was more common in people with higher consumption of animal products. ('The China Study' is a published, large-scale study that was peer-reviewed and was not funded by a particular industry.)

Personally, I've seen many people who suffered from osteoporosis due to their doctor's false assumption that they need more cow's milk for "calcium". However, their conditions worsened as they drank more cow's milk. Puzzled, once they reduced their consumption of cow's milk, their conditions actually improved....

Going Vegetarian is Healthy For Pregnant Women
submitted by equanimity, 1 year ago

Medicalnewstoday reports that doctors endorse going vegetarian as healthy for pregnant women! A small planning may be necessary but going vegetarian is good for future moms, their babies, the planet, and the animals.

How to Make Spicy Korean Hot Pot
submitted by equanimity, 1 year ago
Pronounced "Budae jjigae", this Korean hot pot literally means "army base stew", thanks to the U.S. troops residing in South Korea ever since the Korean war. Why the army? U.S. war-fighters introduced making use of their favorite foods, such as hot dogs and spam, in the traditional Korean stews, making the soup thick and heavy, suiting their taste buds.

So, why is this recipe on this website if it has spam? Isn't spam meat?!? That's right! Spam is a brand of heavily processed meats that are full of cholesterol and bad fats (and probably some of these, too, if you're not lucky). But guess what, spam or hot dogs are actually not needed at all in this hearty stew - the soup becomes healthy and yet flavorful, making it an ideal hot pot item for all.
